I am purchasing a ground floor maisonette in Newton Longville. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the owner, building insurance documents. This morning I was advised that the seller must send the insurance schedule for the flat above also. Why does my property lawyer want to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been stalled for the last fortnight…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Newton Longville to discover Conveyancing in Newton Longville in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole block - which is definitely better. You should check with your conveyancer but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is attempting to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed due to lack of insurance.
